Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai said that the Congress is creating unnecessary controversy over the National Emblem.

He said BJP is pleased to have such vibrant and energetic leaders as Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP is pleased with ferocious lions. The way the Opposition and the ruling BJP see the national emblem is different. "The national emblem has been built on the model of lions on Ashoka’s pillar at Sarnath", he clarified.

"The Opposition parties are engaged in politics on the issue of the National Emblem. While the Congress has a sleeping lion as a leader, they have a problem with a roaring lion," he said.
